March 30 (ExxonMobil
Chemical) -- ExxonMobil Chemical has expanded its portfolio of metallocene
polyethylene (mPE) resins with the introduction of
Enable mPE 35-05 grade resin for tough, stiff, high clarity films. Enable mPE
35-05 resin provides converters and end users with significant downgauging
opportunities that can lead to more sustainable flexible film opportunities,
while delivering outstanding processability across a wide range of applications
and extrusion equipment.
Enable mPE 35-05 resin displays robust and straightforward processing on both
linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) film line equipment, while exhibiting processing
and shrink properties approaching LDPE, with the mechanical properties of higher
alpha-olefin (HAO) resins of similar density. Enable mPE 35-05 resin delivers
improved processing as a result of its lower melt temperature which promotes
greater bubble stability with lower energy consumption, versus fractional melt
index LLDPE. Long chain branching contributes to excellent
shear thinning characteristics that can deliver higher extrusion rates.
"Introduced in 2008, Enable mPE resins help converters enhance their
extrusion operations while providing excellent film performance. A single unique
resin, Enable mPE delivers more stable operations, extends film line output,
application versatility, and generates significant downgauging," said Dave
McConville, Global Market Development Manager, ExxonMobil Chemical Company.
"Enable mPE 35-05 resin broadens our metallocene portfolio into the medium
density product space, and opens up new opportunities for converters and end
users."
